Draught > Gingerman. I don’t know exactly what this is. Bartender said it was a blend of devil’s backbone and lost gold. I doubt that but I do know it was an undrinkable mess. Flavors just didn’t taste good. I sent it back.

Nov 29, 2009 What a real let down. Nothing but some thin hops. The alcohol is well hidden, but otherwise, this was a watery mess.

Oct 19, 2009 (Draught at Ft. Worth Flying Saucer) Pours a cloudy bright orange and some bubbles. Smells like Belgian yeast, citrus specifically oranges. Tastes like Belgian yeast, spices, white pepper. Finish is spicy as well. Could use a bit more malt.

Oct 17, 2009 It took a while for this to show up on RateBeer after the Anniversary party, and not knowing enough about the beer to add it, I didn’t, and since then I’ve lost my notes on it. So... that sucks. What I can say about it is that it was impressive. I wasn’t expecting a Belgian Strong ale for some reason, but it was well done. I think I enjoyed it more than any other beer at the Anniversary party... sorta. I mean, they did bring out the Devil’s Backbone. How can you compete with that? Hats off to you, Real Ale. We’re proud of you!!!

Oct 1, 2009 On tap at Flying Saucer. Pours a cloudy orange golden with a medium frothy white head that leaves decent spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is floral hops and yeast. Medium mouthfeel with a very hoppy taste with grapefruit and a nice dry finish. A good belgian strong ale from Real Ale.
